Extraction and Screening of ß-Sitosterol Compounds from Chloroform Extracts Barks of Kelor Plant (Moringa oleifera Limn) as a Candidate of Cancer Treatment Compounds

Abstract:

Treatment for cancer disease by using traditional plant has been used since the ancient era. many plants have the potential to treat cancer, one of them is β-sitosterol. for over a decade, β-sitosterol has many functions in the human body such as treatment for the cancer patient or cholesterol treatment. for this reason, the aims of these studies were to get the best solvent system to the gain β-sitosterol compound from the bark of kelor. Extraction section showed the best solvent system is hexane: ethyl acetate by increasing polarity index and from the pharmacognostic test, hexane extract has a positive result for alkaloid and steroid but not for flavonoid test. The result of the partition of extract hexane founded that there were 4 (A-D) fractions but only C fraction has crystal yellow. Base on the IR fragment, fraction C of the bark of kelor, (Moringa oleifera Limn) has similarity with the β-sitosterol compound.
